Climate Home: Climate change poses the most significant moral challenge to the global community and an existential threat to the future of many communities worldwide. With the projected rise in sea levels by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) of up to one metre within the century, the most vulnerable coastal communities and low-lying island states -- several of which are in Pacific -- face the real possibility of their islands and communities being submerged well within the next hundred years....

Iowa Farmer Today: Over the next 70 to 100 years, our climate is projected to change dramatically. The sector that is most likely to be affected by these changes is agriculture. A number of studies support this assertion, but relatively few look at the effect of climate change on agriculture from a comprehensive economic perspective, says a University of Illinois economist. An interdisciplinary team from the University of Illinois recently investigated the effects of climate change on farmland values in the Southwestern...

Hivisasa: Scientists in the country have put Mombasa residents on high alert over the possibility of the island submerging. Speaking during a scientific conference in Mombasa, the scientists said major islands in Kenya and across the globe are at a risk of submerging owing to the ever increasing temperatures that emanate from the Ozone layer. The scientists urged residents to plant more mangrove trees in wetlands and re-afforestate areas of utilization in a bid to reduce the effects of green house gases....
